UConn Hoops Coach’s $12-Million Claim Calls for a Lesson in Math

The top-ranked University of Connecticut men’s basketball team beat the University of South Florida by 14 points on Saturday. But Jim Calhoun, the head coach now in his 23rd season with Connecticut, was hardly in a charitable mood at the postgame press conference.

Mr. Calhoun quickly lost his cool when a freelance reporter, political activist, and law student, Ken Krayeske, questioned him about the propriety of his annual salary, given the state’s $2-billion budget deficit, The Hartford Courant reported.
